First, I would like to commend Greenpeace activists for their continued dedication and unwavering courage in taking a stand against policies that pose threats to our environment and the living creatures who depend on it for their survival. The recent detainment of the Arctic 30 is distressing to say the least. I would like to offer an idea that may help to reduce the stigma of the detainees, as perceived by their captors. I know it has always been Greenpeace's mission to create a better world today and for the future of our children. Based on this premise, maybe you could start a campaign to include young children who have some type of intimate affiliation (sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, etc) with the Arctic 30. These young people could express their grievance over the separation of their loved ones. This strategy might help to redirect the sympathy to the children rather than the detainees.
I hope this helps!

This is a very powerful idea. However, I'm sure you can imagine this is a very hard time for the friends and families of those detained. Many of them want privacy, others want to be active. We leave it up to them to decide what they do, and when we can help them by amplifying their voice, we do.

I appreciate your insight on my idea. I really didn't think about the privacy issue for the children affected by this. Mayb...

Juliette,

I appreciate your insight on my idea. I really didn't think about the privacy issue for the children affected by this. Maybe instead of using videos of these children, an audio tape could be used. You actually inspired this idea in the phrase 'amplifying their voice'.
Thanks for your feedback!
